Fuel Open-Source Innovation for Public Good
Public Invention is a nonprofit on a mission: Invent in the public, for the Public. Our open-source engineering projects are already making waves in global health, education, and research, and thanks to supporters like you, we’re just getting started.
Why Give Now?
2024 was a milestone year. A record $225,000 donation helped us accelerate breakthrough projects like Global Distributed Tracking (GDT) for fighting global counterfeiting of medical goods, and our project with NASA to make oxygen available to children around the world a reality.
Your gift today keeps this momentum going and puts groundbreaking open-source solutions into more hands, faster.
Public Invention is a US 501(c)(3) (EIN 83-4036254). Gifts of appreciated securities may provide significant tax advantages.
